Dr Edward Kanterian, from the Department of Philosophy, has just been published in two Swiss news outlets writing in remembrance of the Armenian genocide under the Ottoman Empire in 1915. April marked the 100-year anniversary of the atrocity.
The first piece was published in the newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung [Zurich New Newspaper], writing about the recent developments in the research of the genocide. The article, in German, can be read online here:
